Hi, my name is Giles Roadnight and I am a freelance Flex developer working in and around the south east of the UK
and London.
I started using Flex in around September 2006 and have been using it nearly full time since then.

Before using Flex I was a Flash actionscript developer for about 4 years. I didn't particularly like Flash as a
development environment though and when I tried Flex it was like a breath of fresh air.

I really enjoy working with Flex as it's so quick and easy to build very impressive and powerful applications.
The possibilities of AIR
(Adobe Integrated Runtime) make Flex a very useful language to be familiar with.
I have a number of Flex projects of my own that I'd love to get started on but I never seem to have time!

I am always on the look out for new and interesting Flex projects to work on so I put this site together to show off
some of my work.
You can also download my latest and most up to date CV
or view an online version.

Skills

Flex 2 & 3

Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR)

Eclipse (with Flex Builder plugin)

Coldfusion

Cairngorm

Flash Actionscript

These are my core skills. I use Coldfusion mostly to create CFCs for Flex to communicate with the backend.
I also have experience using Coldfusion to build websites
but these days I would choose to build a Flex site instead. I am trying to find the time to re-write my own sites
using Flex. I am in the process of updating my server to CF 8 and am looking forward to getting to grips with the new features.
Cairngorm is a framework for flex based on the MVC methodology. I use this whenever I can.
My other skills include

FlexUnit

unix

dreamweaver

php

HTML

OO Design

SVN

Visual Source Safe

CSS

Javascript
